The video is disturbing. The officer clearly used excess force. The situation does require some analysis though. She is very likely drunk. This probably made the fall more likely to happen and the impact worse as she was less likely to put her arms up in defense.
Should the officer get in trouble and the city sued, certainly. The officer should not be so demonized, however.
Consider the situation and the similar situations they see regularly.
If we don't extreme behavior from the police, we can't be so extreme in punishing their mistakes.
Quoting: luridanimus Yes that's one thing, but such force is not even close to necessary for a 110 pound woman that isn't exactly being a roughhouse. Like I said, the officer should be punished, or sued, but we don't need to act like the officer is the devil himself and wish or desire a harsh punishment for what is very likely a mistake and not intentional. Yes, a mistake. Like the ones all the people in prison make. Mistakes like that are crimes. So is shooting up steroids, as many officers are said to do and which sometimes results in them killing or severely wounding those with whom they come in contact. A mistake, eh? If you shoved your wife and she broke her face, would that have been a mistake? Or would that have been battery? What reasonable person is going to believe that the officer made a mistake? A mistake implies that he had good intentions when he shoved her. In football the way a free safety shoves a receiver out of bounds after catching a pass is of no concern. No matter how hard the safety shoves, there is no penalty because there is no foul. But the cop wasn't playing football. He was being a mean sonofabitch like he always is, and this time it's going to cost him. No, this was no mistake. This was a crime, committed by a member of an organization known more and more these days as being populated by criminal thugs. I disagree. A mistake, yes, but I am not saying he shouldn't be punished, like those you mentioned. That is absurd. You are assuming to know this individual based entirely on a short video of his behavior with a "victim" of his perceived brutality. When many European nations encountered "native" of the lands they explored they assumed they were all mean "sonofabitch" and treated them as if they intended only the savagery they perceived. Look how that turned out, they murdered millions of people, nearly wiping some groups out entirely because they judged them completely based on a single act of perceived brutality.
